Bart Whelan is from Ardara Co.Donegal and well known throughout the county and beyond. A witty man with great character, with many interesting stories who has experienced so much from the various jobs/roles he has had down through the years. He spent 35 years working as a teacher, for the vast majority of that, he taught woodwork. In GAA circles he was chairman of his local club Ardara for a spell and would go on to become county secretary for 10 years too. Bart is also a fellow colleague of mine on Owenea FM radio where he hosts a programme called 'The History Corner'. As well as talking about all mentioned so far, Bart also recalls building his own house in the mid 70's. I hope you enjoy the interview.
